I also tried SQLite Database Browser which resulted in the below error. For whatever reason many of the sqlite3 utilities seem to have problems opening the file.Īlthough the initial import worked using sqlite3.exe on Windows, attempts to query the sms.db file failed. All three files are read with a single connect() function call from the sqlite API.įirst task at hand is to read sms.db file and analyze the database to find out how iOS is storing SMS messages. sms.db-wal uses a different format on top of the standard sqlite structure as the sms.db. The last received SMS message will go into sms.db-wal file. Sms.db is the main file that retains most data, however these files are temporary in nature. The sms.db-wal is a "Write Ahead Log" which is responsible for transactional behavior, while the sms.db-shm is an "Associate File" which is required to read sms.db-wal and the original sms.db. SMS messages are stored in the following files: IOS stores a lot of data in sqlite databases which, in most cases, can be identified by their “.db” extension. iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) - Other versions may work as well.There are ways to do this using a few Cydia Apps but they usually require you to register for an account or pay for the service which was less than ideal for me. This blog post shows one of the many ways to read SMS messages from a jailbroken iPhone and send it as an email.
As with most ideas, this one also took shape out of necessity to reduce manual work and dependencies in various scenarios.
